Microsoft Wedge Touch Mouse

Microsoft Wedge/Avantree USB Bluetooth 4.0 Adapter

Bought the two items together and I’m very happy, I got it working for vmware + macOS High Sierra, now I can work on sketch app from my desktop Win10 PC !!

How to move and use the mouse:

I have come to move the mouse, not with my whole hand, pivoting my wrist, but with only my thumb and middle finger. Imagine yourself holding a AA battery between your thumb and middle finger, keep your palm stable, and move the battery around by dragging it (or lifting it) with those two fingers. This is all the motion you need to get the mouse cursor anywhere on the screen (for me at least with my Surface 2). I right click, left click and scroll all with my index finger.

If you use this mouse like a normal mouse, that is, you pinch the mouse with your thumb and ring finger where the battery is, and keep your index and middle finger above the two buttons, there is something you ought to know. You cannot right click if you leave your index finger touching the mouse (perhaps where the left click button is, but anywhere really). I have come to use this to my advantage. I do all of my clicking with my middle finger (“right click”) but I do this with my index finger comfortably resting on the mouse. Only when I want to actually right click, I will left my index finger to allow the mouse to register the right click.

The scroll works practically anywhere on the mouse. The mouse is about 3 inches wide. you can scroll anywhere within the middle 2 inches, just not the outer 1/2 inch area. very accommodating.

Some minor annoyances.

The mouse and the computer have a difficulty initiating the initial connection. Only about 50% of the time will the mouse connect to the tablet by turning it on. Otherwise I have to take out the battery, where upon putting the battery in, it has connected immediately 100%. I don’t know if this is the mouse’s fault or my tablet, but my tablet has no problem connecting with my wedge keyboard, so, yeah.

This is not a problem because I take out the battery to my mouse after each use. The mouse is easily turned on by pushing a button below the mouse (not a toggle or a switch you have to physically move up and down). So there was this one time where it somehow turned on by itself in my backpack and it ran out of battery. Ever since I take out the battery after each use, so the issue of connectivity was alleviated, for me, at least.

The mouse does shut off after about 5 minutes of non-use.

So all in all, my opinion:

I absolutely love this mouse. it is super portable. looks nice, gets all the job I want done. I don’t get wrist cramps since I don’t use my wrist to move the mouse. I would never want to use a mouse where you have to rest your entire palm on it ever again nor carry all that mass around in my bag.

Fantástico, moderno y eficiente si te gustan los gadgets es la opción

I recently got the Surface RT and perhaps out of habit, I really need to use the mouse at times and thus initially was using one of my bluetooth mouse (logitech), which worked, but perhaps due to the illogical nature of bluetooth (which I still don’t understand), had problems with pairing (at times) and decided to get this mouse. Like others have noted, it is small, it is stylish and it works beautifully. Pairing is a no brainer and since I only use it with the RT Surface, I never have problems with getting it paired up. For those wondering about the ergonomics, it’s difficult to explain in words, but you’ll find it to be a nice mouse to use; no problems or funky ergonomic issues. Well done Microsoft from a long time mac user.
